STATE OF THE UNITS & PROPERTY REPORT Q2 2011 Wednesday, August 10, 2011 Dear Member-Partners and Member-Candidates, It's been three months since our last quarterly State of the Units update. I hope you have taken time to enjoy the summer with your family before we go back to work and school. On September 1, 2011 – three weeks from now – we will have the results of the revaluation of all properties in the IGW REIT. These are the ones on which we will base the net asset value of the Traditional IGW REIT Class A, AA and AAA Units. As I write this, the revaluations are being carried out by the independent experts at Colliers International Realty Advisors. Looking Back It was certainly a busy summer for LEAGUE! The Summit of Leaders at Royal Roads University in Victoria was highly successful, attracting renowned entrepreneurs from North America and Asia. Planning is already under way for a follow-up summit in the fall and another in 2012. Two of our newest investment products – the Residences of Quadra Village LP and the Duncan Promissory Notes -- sold out within a month, while the Member-Partners Solar Energy Limited Partnership, with more than $7 million already invested by your fellow Member-Partners, continues to shine brightly. Construction at the Wesbrooke Seniors Residence in Pitt Meadows, BC, continues apace with the foundation now taking shape. You can see in these pictures that the sign for the Wesbrooke displays our name prominently. In addition, at our premier retail development project, Eagle Landing in Chilliwack, BC, construction on the smaller free-standing retail buildings is now under way. On a similar note, as we prepare the site for the first phase of Colwood City Centre, we have completed the refinancing of all commercial assets (totalling $12 million) which sets the stage for construction to begin. Meanwhile, we are pleased to report that the open-air jazz festival held last month in the Spirit Square adjacent to Tyee Plaza in Campbell River, BC created much excitement and was a great boost to the community. LEAGUE had donated the land for Spirit Square to the people of Campbell River, which continues to reflect Our Credo's statement about creating safe, healthy and vibrant communities, so it's always gratifying to see news like this. Work continues towards the first condominium conversion within the Rescap LP, in Hamilton, ON. Although the process has taken a little longer than expected, we are now well in sight of our goal. Activities within the IGW REIT continue as well, as we proceed with the strategy of replacing smaller properties within the REIT with fewer, but larger and easier to manage ones. As of August 2011 the acquisitions of Place Desormeaux in Montreal, QC and Evergreen Centre in Sooke, BC have greatly added to the asset base of Partners REIT. Since June 7, 2010 when IGW Public LP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the IGW REIT LP, purchased 33% of all issued and outstanding units, the asset base of Partners REIT will have grown by 25%. Looking Ahead Busy times will continue for LEAGUE in the months ahead. We will soon announce two new Limited Partnerships that will offer different opportunities designed to assist our Member-Partners in achieving their Intergenerational WealthTM goals. And, as mentioned earlier, we expect to host the long-anticipated ground-breaking at our Colwood City Centre project sometime in the late fall. We will bring you more news on these events as they unfold. Before I wrap up, I would like to express my gratitude to all of the individuals – who working together in like-mindedness – have made all of this possible. I look back at how we have grown in seven short years to a firm with more than 2,500 Member-Partners and with $920 million in assets under management. I thank you, our Member-Partners, and I thank our LEAGUE staff, who continues to work alongside you as you move forward to your goal of prosperity for your families. For now, herewith is a property-by-property report of the investment projects we manage on your behalf. Should you have any questions, please click here to contact your Member Services Manager. Warmest regards,
